The Queen in Decades
Buckingham Palace announced recently that it was already beginning plans for Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday, even though she is still over four years from that milestone.
Even now, at 95, Elizabeth still undertakes her seemingly endless list of public and private duties with consummate ease, and to begin the long process of
preparations in the lead-up to her century milestone in 2026, we have compiled a collection of images of the Queen on every decade of her life.
